For Pete's Sake

The Chiefs’ brass traveled to West Palm Beach, Florida for the NFL’s annual meetings this week, and something was amiss.

Chiefs CEO and chairman Clark Hunt, president Mark Donovan, general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid were at the meetings. Those four even posed for a photo that the Chiefs shared Tuesday on social media.

But fans couldn’t help noticing there was something wrong with this picture. Take a look.

You saw it, right? Reid looked different and for good reason. Someone on the Chiefs social-media team edited that picture and removed Reid’s mustache.

Most people realized it was prank, but a few people on social media did fall for the April Fools’ Day joke.

This is what they were saying.

If you had any doubt that this was a prank by the Chiefs’ social-media folks, here is the annual picture of all the NFL coaches together.

You can see Reid (and his mustache) next to Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.
